“He who is cruel to animals
becomes hard also in his dealings with men.
We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.”
~ Immanuel Kant

ENG/ During the incoming holidays, many people make the mistake ofbuying animals, as a capricious gift, contributing to the fact that a good number of these noble beings end up occupying a dark cage, accompanied by a bitter sadness, in some of the hundreds of dog shelters throughout the world.

I use this platform to suggest, to those that have in mind the positive idea of bringing an animal to the family, to avoid the purchase of a living being – eluding the support of smuggling and other branches of this opaque business – and adopt one of the thousands of dogs and cats who, due to our whimsical opinion, went from wonderful gift to disposable nuisance.
